Answer 2

Everyone wants to be a photographer for Maxim, Playboy, Stuff, etc because of the option to see nude and half-nude girls.

The photographers for these jobs, though enjoy it immencely, take their work quite serious. These aren't just your 21yr old college wannabes who are looking for a quick hardon. They have spent years learning photography. Learning about lighting, composition, nude modeling, lighting a nude body, glamour photographer and much more. Just picking up a camera, photographing your girlfriend nude won't get you the job.

Top magazines have a select few photographers they they constantly use, so getting into this circle is going to be quite difficult.

First, you need to learn photography. Whether you get an apprenticeship or go to school for it, you need to know your stuff.

Second, you need to build a portfolio. Work in other areas of photography so that you get to learn your way around the camera and around the camera room.

Third you need to specialize your learning into 3 areas
a. Glamour Photography
b. Nude Portrait Lighting
c. Posing / Composition
As those are the main ingredients that go into a supber nude photo.

Fourth you need to put your portfolio together based on experience and similar photographs. Once you have photographs that you think will even be concidered by the Playboy editors (and not just laughed at) make an appointment. Go onto their site and look for corporate contact information.

IF (and that's a big if) you get an interview, walk in dressed in a nice suite with a nice portfolio to show them. Be clean shaven and well groomed. If you walk in looking like a typical fraternity boy, you won't even make it up the elevator to the corporate offices.

There you go. If you are serious about this, and not just into the quick porn style, after 5 years or so, you'll be ready.

Answer 3

So does everyone else....

I'd suggest that you start freelancing as much as possible - perhpas find some people you can take shots of to submit them to the Photo Editor. Also, Playboy may hire freelancers from time to time - just keep on the look out and keep taking good photos!

Answer 4

Go to school for photography.
Get a job as a gopher for a more experienced photographer.
Learn everything you can about lighting and fashion.
Take as many pictures as you can every day.
Learn how to take pictures of everything before you specialize.
Build up a large portfolio of excellent glamor and erotic photos.
Show them to anyone who will look at them.
Work like a dog and prove yourself and it will happen.

I assumed you wanted a serious answer.
